* ''Organization'' – files that denote future plans or progress tracking (such as [[TrackingFiles]], [[TrackingFilenames]]); also includes a folder for Photoshop Actions.

#* Do not include anything in the 'Scans' folder but files of digitized materials and their folders!

+

#* '''Only optimized scans!'''

−

#** For audio collections the Scans folder may temporarily also include ADL files (see "Audio" from [[Intellectual_vs_Logical]]).

+

#* '''Only complete items!''' For how to handle incomplete items, see [[Scans_folder#Incomplete_Items | this section]].

−

#*** These XML files must, however, be moved to the Admin folder prior to moving the audio files to long term storage/delivery.

#** [[Collection Information | Collection XML file]]

#** [[Tracking Data | Log file with tracking data]]

If [[Transcripts]] exist for an item, they should be scanned and placed into a transcripts folder at this level. Not all collections will have a transcripts folder.

Digital_Coll_waiting – projects chosen but not yet in progress—because they're not ready, because they simply haven't been started yet, or because they were started and scanning has been halted in favor of something else.

Digital_Coll_ON_HOLD - projects that have been partially finished or are completed, but are not allowed to be uploaded into Acumen (usually because of rights issues)

Digital_Coll_temp - temporary or extraneous collection materials (for example, TIFFs for items that need to be rescanned or old metadata) -- content in this folder is not counted during the end-of-month count, so please use this folder for truly short-term or additional content; please include a READ_ME.txt file explaining the contents of the folder so that others might be able to make sense of it in your absence

Sub-folders for projects at an early or informal stage do not need to conform to this organization scheme, as it may not even be possible, but all sub-folders in 'Digital Coll-in-progress' and 'Digital Coll-completed' must be organized in the manner described below. As much as possible, sub-folders in 'OtherOnlineProjects' and 'WorkForOthers' should be organized in this manner, too.

Only complete items! For how to handle incomplete items, see this section.

For audio collections the Scans folder may temporarily also include ADL files (see "Audio" from Intellectual_vs_Logical). These XML files must, however, be moved to the Admin folder prior to moving the audio files to long term storage/delivery.
